A house on the 500 block of Hicks Street was struck by gunfire early Sunday morning, police said.

There were no reported injuries. Residents told police they did not know if or why the house was targeted, Fall River Police Lt. Kevin Tetrault said.

Police officers responded to several 911 calls reporting shots-fired in the area of Hicks and Bowen streets around 1:46 a.m. Sunday. One witness reported hearing four gunshots and then seeing a man running down the street and getting into a black car that fled the area, Tetrault said.

The witness described the man as black, Tetrault said.

Police recovered shell casings outside the house, located between Bowen and King streets. There were no signs of any victims, Tetrault said.

Detectives are investigating. Anyone with information is asked to call the Fall River Police Major Crimes Division at 508-324-2796, or the police department’s anonymous tips line at 508-672-TIPS.
